In case you missed it, Image Comics announced “Bliss” by Sean Lewis and Caitlin Yarsky.
— Image Comics also announced that it’s putting “BlackHand & IronHead” into print for the first time. Volume 1 of the popular webcomic by David López will be available September 2, 2020 in hardcover.
— J. Jonah Jameson is joining the throngs of 21st century journalists who have pivoted to podcasts with The J. Jonah Jameson Podcast, according to Marvel. In the first episode, he interviews, you guessed it, Spider-Man.
— Of course, it’s not all fun and games over at Marvel. The final three issues of “Amazing Spider-Man: The Daily Bugle” have been postponed by a month each. Issue #3 will now be released on April 22, #4 on May 27, and #5 on June 24.
— According to Sean Murphy, DC has greenlit several more spin-offs to “Batman: Curse of the White Knight,” which will be organized into a “mini imprint.” The announcement came through Murphy himself, who tweeted that they will be created in-between new volumes of “Batman: White Knight.”
— Disney has removed a film from its 2021 release schedule, likely because it would have competed with an untitled Sony Marvel project being released the same day. There’s no information on what the rescheduled movie is, though CBR.com speculates that it is probably a Spider-Man spin-off.
— Warner Bros. announced it has canceled its March 16 premiere of Superman: Red Son in New York City due to concerns over COVID-19, or coronavirus. The Center for Disease Control has recommended that large gatherings be limited to minimize opportunities for exposure. The film has already had its Los Angeles premiere and is available digitally.
— Speaking of coronavirus, publishers Shueisha and Shogakukan have announced that they will make digital back issues of their manga magazines free to read in Japan for a limited time due to many schools, venues, and events being closed to help stop the spread of the disease. This includes publications such as Weekly Shonen Jump, Weekly Shonen Sunday, and more.
— Finally, Reflector Entertainment announced they’re adding a new comic book, podcast, and novel to their Unknown 9 Storyworld. Unknown 9 is set to kick off during SXSW with an interactive experience.
